యోబు~ గ్రంథము 13
Behold, mine eye has seen these things, and mine ear has heard [them].
And I know all that you too know; and I have not less understanding than you.
Nevertheless I will speak to the Lord, and I will reason before him, if he will.
But you are all bad physicians, and healers of diseases.
But would that you were silent, and it would be wisdom to you in the end.
But hear you the reasoning of my mouth, and attend to the judgment of my lips.
Do you not speak before the Lord, and utter deceit before him?
Or will you draw back? nay do, you yourselves be judges.
9 ౯ ఒకవేళ ఆయన మిమ్మల్ని పరిశోధిస్తే అది మీకు క్షేమకరమా? ఒకడు ఇతరులను మోసం చేసినట్టు మీరు ఆయనను మోసం చేస్తారా?
For [it were] well if he would thoroughly search you: for though doing all things [in your power] you should attach yourselves to him,
he will not reprove you at all the less: but if moreover you should secretly respect persons,
shall not his whirlpool sweep you round, and terror from him fall upon you?
And your glorying shall prove in the end to you like ashes, and your body [like a body] of clay.
Be silent, that I may speak, and cease from [mine] anger,
while I may take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.
15 ౧౫ వినండి, ఆయన నన్ను చంపినా నేను ఆయన కోసం ఆశతో ఎదురుచూస్తున్నాను. ఆయన సమక్షంలో నా న్యాయ ప్రవర్తనను రుజువు పరుచుకుంటాను.
Though the Mighty One should lay hand upon me, forasmuch as he has begun, verily I will speak, and plead before him.
And this shall turn to me for salvation; for fraud shall have no entrance before him.
Hear, hear you my words, for I will declare in your hearing.
Behold, I am near my judgment: I know that I shall appear evidently just.
19 ౧౯ నాతో వాదం పెట్టుకుని గెలవ గలిగేవాడు ఎవరు? ఎవరైనా ఎదుటికి వస్తే నేను నోరు మూసుకుని ప్రాణం విడిచిపెడతాను.
For who is he that shall plead with me, that I should now be silent, and expire?
But grant me two things: then I will not hide myself from your face.
Withhold [your] hand from me: and let not your fear terrify me.
Then shall you call, and I will listen to you: or you shall speak, and I will give you an answer.
How many are my sins and my transgressions? teach me what they are.
Therefore hide you yourself from me, and deem me your enemy?
Will you be startled [at me], as [at] a leaf shaken by the wind? or will you set yourself against me as against grass borne upon the breeze?
26 ౨౬ నువ్వు నాకు కఠినమైన శిక్ష విధించావు. నేను చిన్నతనంలో చేసిన పాపాలకు ప్రతిఫలం అనుభవించేలా చేశావు.
for you have written evil things against me, and you have compassed me with the sins of my youth.
27 ౨౭ నా కాళ్ళకు బొండ వేసి బిగించావు. నా నడవడి అంతా నువ్వు కనిపెడుతున్నావు. నా అడుగులకు నువ్వే గిరి గీశావు.
And you have placed my foot in the stocks; and you have watched all my works, and have penetrated my heels.
28 ౨౮ కుళ్ళిపోయిన శవంలాగా ఉన్నవాడి చుట్టూ, చిమ్మటలు తినివేసిన గుడ్డపేలికలాంటివాడి చుట్టూ గిరి గీసి కాపు కాస్తున్నావు.
[I am as] that which waxes old like a bottle, or like a moth-eaten garment.
